Rent-stabilized 1-bedroom apartments for rent in good cause buildings in Manhattan

This page includes 1-bedroom apartments for rent in Manhattan that are filtered for rent-stabilized homes in good cause buildings. The current snapshot shows 664 apartments for rent.

Rent-stabilized refers to apartments with regulated rent increases and renewal protections. The exact rules can vary by unit, so confirm the building status, lease terms, and renewal details before you apply.

Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not a neighborhood. It generally relates to limits on certain rent increases or non-renewals, but you should still verify how the unit is covered and what the lease allows.

The median rent is $5,152 for this scope, which gives you a quick benchmark for budget planning. Your actual move-in cost may be higher once you factor in deposits, fees, and utilities.

In the latest snapshot, Hell's Kitchen has 523 apartments for rent, East Village has 248, Yorkville has 277, Kips Bay has 257, and Lenox Hill has 197. Neighborhood counts can shift as availability changes.

Ask whether the unit is currently rent-stabilized, how good cause protections apply, whether there is a broker fee, what the security deposit is, and whether the lease includes any rent increases or special renewal terms.

Yes. Even when rent rules are more structured, you may still see application fees, deposits, broker fees, and utility charges. Review the full monthly and upfront cost before you commit.
